Please restore the “Do Not Track” checkbox in FireFox and make it the default setting. The argument for removing this as I understand it is that most sites do not recognize it anyways. However I believe this misses the point. First, there are some websites I know which at least claim to recognize this signal (they used to present a little popup acknowledging it). This to me is an indication that’s a website I ought to prefer over competitors. I want that type of indication as to which websites respect privacy and which do not. Second, the fact that few people present “Do Not Track” signals provides companies a justification for NOT respecting it. It also provides cover for lawmakers who don’t want to pass legislation requiring it. Basically, I want that signal enabled to make a point that I DO want respecting it to be required. Lastly, I want to not give consent to things automatically. While it may not be legally binding on companies at this time, to the maximum extent possible I would like to be able to make the argument that I did not consent to having my data collected and shared. As to the idea that it could “reduce privacy”, I assume this refers to “fingerprinting” because few people would have it enabled. The solution is simple: it should be on by default. If MOST FireFox users had this flag enabled because it was the default, then it would not be adding much information which facilitated fingerprinting.  I particularly find the “note” on the Do Not Track support page that “You may see less relevant advertising on websites if you have the Do Not Track option activated” to be particularly frustrating.  So your support page is in fact acknowledging that this flag could have some effect on the user's experience.   But this is exactly what we are trying to achieve with this flag!!!!  The fact that companies are trying to profile us and feed us advertising or content (which might not just be advertising things they want us to buy, but potentially also political messages) based on what their algorithms and the profiles they are generating of us conclude are our psychological weaknesses is exactly the thing we wanted privacy focused technology to prevent.  We may want to know if advertisers are "talking out of both sides of their mouth" by telling everyone exactly what they think we want to hear. ...

Having the attachments at the bottom is confusing.  I would prefer the attachments to be at the top so that they're easier to see instead of hunting for them, particularly when you have a long e-mail thread... Also, I noticed that attachments often don't open in the right program or the right program isn't available, such as in the case of WAV files where there is no option to play them from Thunderbird, but there is from other e-mail programs that I have and use. When attachments are saved, I noticed that it sometimes adds irrelevant file extensions as well.  For instance, when I saved a .wav file from my e-mail, Thunderbird saved it as "filename.wav.pdf" for some strange reason. The biggest issue I see with Thunderbird currently is the handling of attachments, which doesn't seem to work very well. I hope attachments can get some love in an upcoming release, because I can't really use Thunderbird as my e-mail client on mobile until I am able to work with attachments. Thanks and I love Thunderbird otherwise. ... View more

Hello, Firefox has developed into a pretty good browser. The cream on the cake would be earnings for attention using the browser. Would it be possible for Firefox to integrate a system where browser use will pay the user, if the user chooses to sell their anonymous and aggregate data please? This brings benefits to advertisers with more efficient marketing budgets at specific audiences as per data, rather than general expensive advertisements to some broad demographic. This benefits users by receiving advertisements that may be more relevant, whilst being paid for user attention and time. The user is also able to opt in or opt out. ... View more

When using Firefox to highlight PDFs the toolbox for the highlighting tool covers the text of the paper I am trying to read. This happens in fullscreen-mode (as shown on the screenshot) and in normal viewing mode. It would be much more convenient if the toolbox would only show when hovering above the highlighter symbol (or if I had the option to untoggle the toolbox). To the right hand side there is still space in 100% zoom. Another solution would be to flip the toolbox window so that it would show more to the right hand side below the other tools. I am using Firefox 135.0.1 (64-Bit) on my Windows 11 (64-Bit) Laptop. My display is set to 1920x1080. ... View more

Filtering out a single email address with "Match all of the following" in combination with "Age in days" "is greater than" works fine, if you are wanting to move certain emails after so many days to the Bin for instance. There is a bit of an issue if you have a list of email addresses in your filter with some logic operations. The problem is that with multiple email addresses, in the one filter, you need to use "Match any of the following",  which in combination with "Age in days" "is greater than", does the filter operation on EVERYTHING in your email account, not just the email addresses listed in the filter.  Therefore you can accidentally delete all of your email rather easily!!!!!! Obviously this problem isn't an issue if you separate each email address into its own rule. Unfortunately this creates an huge number of filters to be created.   ... View more

It's a nice privacy feature that Thunderbird blocks remote content by default. But it's very annoying to have to click the "Show remote images" on every email from services you trust. Desktop Thunderbird has the option of adding senders and hosts to a whitelist, so you can avoid those extra clicks on mail you like. This feature is sorely needed in the Android version as well. I think I saw that Thunderbird allows remote content from people in your contacts. But that's not really a good general fix as you don't want to pollute your contacts list with every service you get emails from. ... View more

Title: Improve Bookmark Syncing to Allow Seamless Organisation Across Desktop and Mobile Description: Currently, Firefox Sync mirrors the folder structure of bookmarks from the desktop to the mobile app, which can lead to a messy and inconsistent experience. For example: Bookmarks saved to the Bookmarks Toolbar on desktop appear nested under Desktop Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar on mobile. There is no straightforward way to ensure bookmarks added on either device appear in a consistent, user-friendly location without manual reorganization. This creates unnecessary friction for users who want a clean and unified bookmark experience across devices. Proposed Solution: Separate Sync Behaviour for Bookmarks Toolbar: Allow users to choose whether the Bookmarks Toolbar folder syncs to mobile as a top-level folder or remains nested. Add an option in Sync settings to "Flatten Bookmarks Toolbar for Mobile" or similar. Default Sync Location for New Bookmarks: Introduce a setting to specify a default sync location for new bookmarks (e.g., a dedicated "Mobile Bookmarks" folder or the top-level Bookmarks folder). This setting should be configurable on both desktop and mobile. Improved Mobile Bookmark Management: Enhance the mobile app’s bookmark management interface to allow easier moving, merging, and organising of bookmarks (e.g., multi-select, drag-and-drop, or bulk actions). Auto-Flatten Nested Folders on Mobile: Add an option to automatically "flatten" nested folders (like Desktop Bookmarks) when syncing to mobile, so bookmarks appear at the top level by default. User Benefits: Consistency: Bookmarks added on desktop or mobile will appear in a predictable, user-friendly location. Ease of Use: No need for manual reorganization after syncing. Flexibility: Users can choose how bookmarks are organized across devices to suit their preferences. Example Use Case: A user saves bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar on their desktop for easy access with the auto-hide feature. They want these bookmarks to appear at the top level in the mobile app, not nested under Desktop Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar. With the proposed changes, the user can configure Firefox to sync the Bookmarks Toolbar contents to the top level on mobile, ensuring a seamless experience. Additional Notes: This feature request aligns with Firefox’s goal of providing a seamless, user-friendly experience across devices. Many users have expressed frustration with the current syncing behavior, as seen in community forums and support threads. ... View more

Firefox 135 has removed the feature of sending a "do not track" header, as it was not respected by most websites. To clarify, DNT is still available through about:config and is automatically enabled in "Strict" tracking protection and private windows, but it has been removed from the normal browser settings, where it now only shows the option to enable GPC. My idea is to merge DNT and GPC into one visible settings. So you would have "GPC & DNT both enabled" or "both disabled". I understand the concern of the DNT signal adding further fingerprinting potential. However, if we just merged DNT into the GPC feature, this should not be a problem.    Some context why DNT is still worthwhile to keep as a privacy feature: In 2011, Mozilla brought us the wonderful Do Not Track feature. It was soon adopted by other major browser makers. In 2014, it became law for any website offering service to Californians to include a Do Not Track disclosure in its privacy policy. Do Not Track became a standard aspect of privacy policies. Today privacy policy generating tools have made it easy for a website to disclose a Do Not Track stance. Today numerous analytics tools make it simple for a website to implement a Do Not Track choice. Multiple websites demonstrate example code for how websites can implement a Do Not Track choice for the remaining analytics tools. At least one cookies consent tool will silently obey Do Not Track to avoid an annoying user prompt. Many websites have disclosed a stance of not obeying Do Not Track. This disclosure is very useful because it can give users a consistent and efficient way of evaluating a website's stance on using user data. With a web search for "name-of-website do not track privacy policy" a user can perform this evaluation before even deciding to visit a website. Hundreds of websites have instead chosen to disclose a stance of obeying Do Not Track. These websites include medical offices, restaurants, websites for children, government websites, and many other subjects. Some of these websites may not ever service Californians but perhaps those websites like the principle of Do Not Track and have chosen to adopt it. Statistics over the last 6 years demonstrate more than 22% of Internet users enabling Do Not Track. Statistics from 2024 indicate 32.5% of users use an addon to block JavaScript. Taking an estimate of 75% of users who enable Do Not Track also being users who would use an addon to block JavaScript would mean 16.5% of users doing both. 16.5 is more than half of 32.5. For fingerprinting, all users are recommended to enable Do Not Track, to blend in with the majority for users who block JavaScript or because other forms of JavaScript fingerprinting can already uniquely identify users who do not block JavaScript. Mozilla statistics for Firefox Do Not Track usage may be lower due to possible forms of bias and any percentage tracked by Mozilla can be considered a minimum value. Bias can come from multiple scenarios. Users who use DNS to block Firefox telemetry are likely the type of people who will enable Do Not Track and Mozilla will not record these users. Public institutions offering computers for public usage and school computer rooms may restore a default profile for each user, meaning Mozilla may collect the default Do Not Track value before a user has a chance to enable the setting, and the Firefox profile may be reset when the user logs out before Mozilla has a chance to record the user's choice. California law apparently allows users rights regarding sensitive personal information. Four categories are relevant: a) selling user data to fourth parties, b) sharing user data with fourth parties, c) sharing user data with third party analytics products, and d) the website's use of user data. For the purpose of discussion, the wording "fourth parties" is used to indicate third parties which are not analytics services. According to research by Steve Gibson from visiting a popular technology website, an enabled Global Privacy Control signal limits a) and b) but does not limit c) and d). Examined implementations of Do Not Track limit c), meaning a), b), and d) are implicitly limited when a website obeys Do Not Track signals since you cannot sell, share, or use what you did not collect. Steve Gibson also described how Global Privacy Control was developed on that popular website to examine a user's location and only apply the minimum legal requirements. At the time of his research, privacy law in Virginia existed but since it did not explicitly mention Global Privacy Control, the website was not expected to obey a Global Privacy Control signal from a user in Virginia. Examined implementations of Do Not Track apply the setting universally to all Internet users on websites which obey Do Not Track signals. Steve Gibson further clarifies by saying in contrast to Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control is explicitly not about preventing tracking. Businesses in Germany are legally required to obey Do Not Track signals. There are sufficient reasons to maintain both Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control in Firefox's user interface, with them serving different roles and being supported by different legal frameworks.   Related bugs: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1936761 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1949550 ...
